Quoting: M@yeulCI wish it was bundled on Steam. I guess they could try to sell it/make it available on Steam as a mod.

Is it the case on GOG? I wish a client would take care of the updates, though.

If you check the Wiki there are official repos available for several major distros. I picked up Morrowind on Steam today because of OpenMW. Looking forward to playing!

I didn't get a free key, but hey the game is only $0.99. So of course I bought it. If I only get an hour or so of game time out if it then the investment was well worth it.

Meh. Another promising racer title that, sadly, never came.

Just as an update in case anyone comes across this post, the game is no longer listed for Linux in the Steam store. Not sure why, it's said the game is made using Unity so Linux support should not be a big deal. Was going to pick it up for $5, but listing as only having partial controller support was a turn-off. Followed by the fact that it's just no longer there for Linux anyway. Man we need some good racers on Linux!

Quoting: GuestGOG has a DOSbox wrap of the Pinball Dreams series, although sadly I can’t recommend it. Better play the original Amiga games in UAE.

The Pinball Illusions pack in that bundle is awesome, and the music is awesome, and you even get a previously-unreleased table. For $10 I can whole-hartedly recommended Pinball Dreams.

No activity on this game from devs on the official forums for a while - seems kind of dead. Was looking at this game today, but there's no announcement of the other two original tables being available. So for now I will wait until this game gets discounted and then pick it up. That is, unless an announcement is made in the meantime.

I agree with the posts above - Could be the greatest game ever made for all I know. It certainly looks like a game that I would like. But, just like how we might want to eat cake every day - the real world kicks in and we discover we need to have the diligence to do what's right. So, in short, make a Linux port and then shut up and take my money!!. Until then, I'll just hang out with Stardew Valley and 7 Days To Die and friends.

Short commentary on Wine here: I think WINE is a great tool. Remarkable, really. I use it, for example, to play my original Baulder's Gate I purchased way back when when I ran MS Windows XP. WINE certainly has it's place - whether it's gaming or running and old version of Quicken or a myriad of other use cases.

But to spend cash on a game that will likely never see a native Linux port because it's good for you personally - well, that's kind of just selling out. To make a real difference, we need to support companies like Feral and others that see Linux users as an asset and a viable market. In the end, what good does it do to send $60 US to Hello Games without a Linux version? All it means is that it's much less likely that they will ever release a Linux version! Not to mention that, if purchased via Steam it will additionally count as a Windows sale in the sales figures. A double-whammy!

I'm not telling anyone what to do. We're free to play and buy what we want. Just don't complain that more top-tier titles aren't released for SteamOS / Linux.

It's been all 7 Days to Die here since the Linux client is working well. Have had quite a few "white knuckle" moments already...like having my house / base collapse for the day 14 horde and escaping by jumping from the roof and being fortunate, out of sheer luck, to land on a porch rail and that allowed me to land on the ground unscathed. My house? Not so much. Total loss.
